On Memory, I did fine until the break....then when I came back in, I was in the wrong key for a line or two!  Oops....

The Author's Fair this year apparently pissed off Mother Nature; there were storms, tornadoes, and 6 inches of rain fell in the span of maybe 6-8 hours?  At any rate, both I-64 and US 41 were shut down with flooded areas in the afternoon.  Thankfully by 5pm, the water had receded and we were able to get home w/o any problems.

Who's The Boss Now-LT  The angst was finally too much, and I ended up skimming the last few chapters.
Love Life-LT  Finally finished it!  Wanted to smack Blake.  Too drawn out.
Unwilling-K.D. Wood  Bleh.  Too tedious.  Finally skimmed the last twelve chapters, just to get through it.
Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus:  The Beginning-Lydia Sherrer Definitely interesting, but not really my fave genre to read.  Really didn't hold my interest past the 1st story.
